When my brothers and I graduated high school our Congressman was there. But now when Americans needed him most, @schumer.senate.gov showed he cannot lead with strength and keep his party in line. It's time for new leadership, and I certainly hope we will soon have Senator @aoc.bsky.social seated.

Airline pricing is insane. It is cheaper for me to fly from my local airport to one 3 hours drive away to connect for my final destination than to just book it direct from that airport and drive there myself. Two flights are cheaper than one.

Those who nap during history class are doomed to repeat it. I hope people remember "I was just following orders" is not a viable excuse for breaking the law. They should step down rather than carrying out Herr Tangerine's orders.

My son has informed me that he's been researching the Rapture for tomorrow and he thought it was important I know that you'll be left behind if you Skip Intro on an episode of Peacemaker. #TheMoreYouKnow #Rapture

Why is the media saying @jimmykimmel.com was fired for a joke about Kirk when he didn't make a joke about Kirk and Trump is threatening to get other hosts fired with no inciting incident referenced? Clearly it wasn't about a Kirk joke. Why can't the media EVER be accurate about Trump's fascism?

Time for cancelling all streaming services from Paramount (if you haven't already) and Disney/ABC.
They wouldn't risk displeasing Dear Leader so they displeased us. That's their choice. Time for them to live with it.

If enough Floridians take the antivaxxers up on this, expect Florida tourism to disappear in a few years when it is a hotbed of contagious disease. Imagine bringing children to Disney or Universal when childhood diseases are rampant.
In the data collected in the past 30 years.
Vaccines have Prevented:
508 Million Cases of Illness
32 Million Hospitalizations
1.1 Million Deaths.
RFK & FL Governor DeSantis' are calling for an end for all Vaccine Mandates - Including for Schoolchildren.
Big Mistake. Huge.

Irony: the kitchen is the room in a house most likely to catch fire but smoke detectors can't tell the difference between fires and cooking (or this morning, preheating the oven).

If the right wants to pass bathroom bills because criminals may pretend to be trans to get into a ladies room, do they now want to restrict the overreach authority of ICE and the police since people are pretending to be them to assault and murder?

The first two defining characteristics of Donald Trump are cruelty and greed. I think the third one is some kind of twisted nostalgia. Like, at some point in the late '70s or early '80s he locked in this is the way the world is supposed to be.

Trump is not on the midterm ballots. Stop using his name as an adjective. It's the Republican tariffs, the Republican recession that is looming, the Republican fascist attack on our friends and neighbors, the Republicans destroying our image on the world stage. They all own this.

Most believable take I've seen so far
I’m not saying with certainty that Trump’s diaper leaked all over his black suit right before the funeral so they had to change him back into his blue travel suit.
I’m simply saying Occam’s Diaper.
If you’ve ever potty trained a toddler, you get it.

Let me see if I understand US politics today.
Republicans do horrendous things that actively hurt people, sometimes intentionally and sometimes just because they don't care about collateral damage.
Democrats sit back and watch and then say what a horrendous thing.
We need new leaders.

The right is going crazy saying Justice Barrett was just a DEI hire that checked boxes. The thing is, they're not wrong. The boxes she checked was being a right wing Christian. That doesn't mean she is unqualified though. She just seems to have more respect for the law than some of the Court.

I didn't watch the State of the Union, but from what I'm reading the Democrats didn't stand for any of Trump's lies. Why didn't they cheer his lies?
